The American Cancer Society is recruiting teams from businesses, schools, families, places of worship and more to participate in the Relay For Life of Redmond/Kirkland event, which will be held June 20-21 at the Redmond High School football field. Relay For Life teams are committed to finishing the fight against cancer and raise funds to support the American Cancer Society’s lifesaving mission. Teams and individuals can sign up for the Relay For Life event by visiting http://main.acsevents.org/site/TR/RelayForLife/RFLCY15GW?pg=entry&fr_id=66700 or by calling 1-800-227-2345.
The Relay For Life program is a community based event where teams and individuals set up campsites at a school, park or fairground and take turns walking or running around a track or path. Each team has at least one participant on the track at all times. Cancer survivors and caregivers take a celebratory first lap to start each event. Four million people participated in more than 6,000 events worldwide in 2014. Last year, 430 people participated in the Redmond/Kirkland relay and raised more than $130,000, all to support the society’s mission to finish the fight against cancer once and for all.
